Editoral commentary: Understanding cardiovascular disease risk in women with polycystic ovary syndrome

Melanie Cree-Green. Trends Cardiovasc Med. 2020 Oct.

Abstract

In the accompanying paper, Osibogun et al. comprehensively review the risk contributors and primary endpoints for cardiovascular disease (CVD) in women in polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). The authors conclude that based on the available literature, women with PCOS do have increased CVD, although better quality data are sorely needed. The authors emphasize that screening and personalized treatment for all risk factors related to CVD must be performed across the lifespan in women with PCOS.

Keywords: Cardiovascular disease; Polycystic ovary syndrome.
